162: A standoff across the border, a new prey

Facing the impotent rage of the Integration Realm Great Perfection Devil King on the other end of the star gate, Chu He simply picked his ear leisurely, a playful smile hanging on his face.

He didn't even bother using Divine Thought transmission; he just spoke toward the violently fluctuating star gate in an ordinary volume, saying casually:

"I'm your grandfather."

His voice was flat, yet filled with extreme provocation.

On the other side of the star gate, in the desolate Star Domain occupied by the main fleet of the Demon Race, a deathly silence instantly fell.

Immediately after, a terrifying fury capable of making even the stars tremble erupted!

"You piece of trash!!! You seek death!!!"

That Integration Realm Great Perfection powerhouse known as the "Blood Slaughter Demon King" was so angry his internal spirits were jumping. In the tens of thousands of years he had lived, he had never suffered such humiliation!

Boom!

He suddenly struck out with a palm. A blood-colored demonic hand that blotted out the sky slammed toward the star gate, attempting to forcibly pry open this unstable passage to descend upon the Xuanhuang Realm and tear that trash who spoke so arrogantly into pieces!

However, this star gate was originally built to allow Chong Lou, who was only in the Early Stage of the Integration Realm, to pass through; it simply could not withstand the power of the Integration Realm Great Perfection.

The moment the blood-colored demonic hand touched the star gate, the entire passage let out an overburdened wail. Countless spatial cracks spread around the star gate, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Damn it!"

The Blood Slaughter Demon King could only unwillingly withdraw his power. He knew that if he forced his way in, the only outcome would be being shredded into pieces by the violent spatial turbulence.

Just as he was pondering how to stabilize the passage, Chu He made a new move on the Xuanhuang Realm side.

He looked at the constantly twisting star gate, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Luck... Seal!"

With a thought from Chu He, he used a new function of the System that had just been unlocked for the first time.

An invisible, mysterious power diffused from his body, instantly enveloping the entire Flesh-and-Blood Star Gate.

In an instant, the Blood Slaughter Demon King on the other end of the star gate suddenly felt his connection with that gate forcibly weakened by more than ninety percent by a mysterious and overbearing power!

Where he could previously barely peer at the scene on the other side, he could now only see a blur of Chaos.

"What power is this?!" The Blood Slaughter Demon King was terrified. He had never heard of such a bizarre method that directly acted on the levels of 'connection' and 'Luck'!

While he was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, that voice he hated to the bone drifted over once again.

"Don't be in a hurry. Wash your neck and wait."

"I'll be taking your head."

Chu He paused, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepening.

"By the way, I'll be taking your Devil Emperor's head as well."

Pfft—!

On the other end of the star gate, the Blood Slaughter Demon King could no longer suppress the rage in his heart and spat out a mouthful of demonic blood.

Arrogant!

Far too arrogant!

A native whose hair hadn't even grown in properly dared to claim he would take the Devil Emperor's head? Who did he think the Devil Emperor was? Some random cat or dog on the side of the road?

"This seat wants you dead! This seat swears I will extract your Divine Soul and burn it with demonic fire for ten thousand years!!" the Blood Slaughter Demon King roared crazily.

However, Chu He could no longer be bothered to pay him any mind.

He turned his head, looked at Su Qingxue not far behind him, and said gently, "Qingxue, use the myriad laws celestial map to record the coordinates of this star gate."

"This is the first springboard for us to sound the horn of the counterattack."

"Yes, Husband."

Su Qingxue nodded slightly. The myriad laws celestial map in her hand moved without wind. Upon the scroll, starlight flowed, and a tiny red dot emitting a bloody and evil aura was clearly imprinted on a corner of the scroll.

"Coordinates locked. Ultra-long-distance teleportation positioning can be performed at any time," Su Qingxue responded softly.

"Very good."

Chu He nodded with satisfaction.

He turned around again to face the star gate that was still roaring unwillingly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Then, this eyesore of a gate should also disappear."

He slowly raised his right fist. The terrifying power within his body—newly promoted and fused with the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline and Integration Realm Laws—began to gather crazily at the tip of his fist.

A brilliant golden light to the extreme lit up on his fist, as if he were holding a sun that had been condensed hundreds of millions of times!

Before this power, the entire Northern Ice Field began to tremble and groan violently.

Space was shattering inch by inch!

Laws were wailing and retreating!

"Get... the... hell... back!"

Chu He spoke one word at a time, using all his strength to slam his fist—which gathered the full force of an Integration Realm Peak strike—heavily toward that Flesh-and-Blood Star Gate!

BOOM—!!!!!

There was no suspense whatsoever.

Under Chu He's world-destroying punch, that already overburdened star gate failed to last even a single breath.

It didn't just shut or close.

It... exploded!

The entire star gate, like a detonated nuclear bomb, underwent a violent and irreversible chain explosion from within!

A violent spatial storm, mixed with Chu He's overbearing and matchless fist intent, formed a destructive shockwave. Following the passage that hadn't completely disconnected, it slammed back toward the other end of the star gate!

"No—!!!"

In the desolate Star Domain, the Blood Slaughter Demon King only had time to let out a scream of terror and despair before being completely swallowed by that back-surging storm of destruction.

His Integration Realm Great Perfection demonic body was like paper in the storm, instantly torn apart and slammed heavily against the flagship behind him, punching a massive hole through that enormous vessel.

With an unwilling muffled sound, the star gate disconnected completely. Above the Northern Ice Field, only a slowly healing spatial ripple remained.

The world was finally quiet.
